I hope you’re right. It’s hard work trying to convince my family and friends of color that the Democrats are bad for this country. I know what total liberal rule will do to this country. I grew up in Connecticut and California and look what the lefties have done to those two states.

Convincing family and friends depends a lot on their outlook. If they are looking for opportunity, I think it should be a relatively easy sell (though it might take some time). If they are looking for free stuff, preferential treatment, or revenge against “the man” it’s never gonna happen.

That isn’t confined to minorities. I know too many white people who are mainly interested in getting free stuff, getting by, scamming the system. It’s an attitude where they think they are “winning” if they can scam the system and get someone else to pay for something for them, whether it’s fake “disability” or welfare or abuse of the health care system or other things. The sad part is that if they put as much effort into working as they did into scamming, they could be living quite comfortably. The main difference is that they wouldn’t feel the “win” of taking advantage of someone else or of the system.
